Processing of personal data in the context of postal controls
Your personal data is processed when documenting a control in the postal, courier and freight flow. Swedish Customs will check whether the consignment contains goods with an entry ban or whether it is entry-regulated goods. If this is the case, the conditions for entry must be fulfilled and the notification obligation properly fulfilled. The control must then be documented and your personal data is then processed to document the check.
Why Swedish Customs processes your data
The processing of personal data takes place for the purpose of Swedish Customs being able to document the control of your consignment.
Legal basis and purpose
Swedish Customs has the right to carry out checks on mail and courier flows on the basis of Chapter 4, Section 19 of the Swedish Customs Act (2016:253) or Sections 4 and 8 of the Act (1996:701) on the powers of Swedish Customs at Sweden's border with another country within the European Union.
Your personal data is processed for this purpose on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) of the GDPR as part of the Swedish Customs' exercise of authority.
Deletion
The data is automatically deleted at the latest six years after the end of the calendar year in which the data was first processed in the database. Deletion is regulated in the Act (2001:185) on the processing of data in the activities of Swedish Customs, Chapter 2, Section 10.
